Classes are held on the HCC campus Friday evenings 5:30-9:30 p.m. and Saturdays, 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 1-5 p.m.,and are taught by HCC and Elms faculty. By including up to 18 credits of classes from HCC and 42 credits from Elms, you are able to complete your coursework in 10 eight-week sessions over a 20-month period. At six sessions and 36 credits per calendar year, you can save thousands of dollars by completing your degree in this uniquely affordable program.

When you finish the program, you will be awarded an Elms College bachelor of arts degree.
